Grand Prize Winner understands and accepts any such risk of delay or increased costs in excess of the line item caps above. Winner understands and agrees that Station and its sponsors are not responsible for any delays or increased costs, except with respect to a specific sponsor if the delay is due solely to the gross misconduct or gross negligence of the sponsor.

9. GRAND PRIZE WINNER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT HE/SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM WORK BEING CONDUCTED IN THEIR HOME AND AGREES TO COMPLETELY RELEASE STATION FROM ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM THE DAMAGE OF ANY PROPERTY OR INJURY OF ANY PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE PRIZE AND THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRIZE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT RELIEVE THE CONTRACTORS PERFORMING ANY WORK AT THE HOME FROM ANY LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO THE WINNER OR OTHERS.

In all instances in which winner has the right to select specific products, the choice or products offered may be limited or certain specific products or manufacturers may be excluded. Winner will receive more information on such restrictions and limitations after they have been awarded the prize.

11. In no event may any remaining “excess” from any of the categories above be transferred to a different category and winner will NOT be entitled to any cash value or alternative prize if the full value of any certificate or prize above is not or cannot be utilized by winner. Winner may be required to obtain any necessary permits. Work will be performed based upon availability of required materials, scheduling availability of the installer and mutual agreement between winner and installer/prize provider.

12, In the event that any of the above items is reasonably expected to exceed the value caps above, winner will be required to pay the excess in cash to the contractor, which may request such cash in advance. In the alternative (except in the event of unforeseen complications), the winner may instead elect (when possible) to reduce elements or requests to keep the total value within the above caps. Any upgrades, alterations or specific requests made by the winner that would result in a total value of labor and/or costs that exceed the above caps will result in winner being responsible for paying the excess above the caps in cash to the contractor, which may request such cash in advance.

13. The actual total prize value will be determined on or before September 30, 2012 and will be based on the specific needs of the backyard/home in question (and this will be the amount for which the winner will receive a 1099 for 2012 based on, regardless of whether the services are completed in 2012 or not). Winner may be requested to provide verifiable and unaltered third party invoices from the provider/installer to evidence the actual value provided or, in the absence of such acceptable documentation, Station may rely on the values provided by the individual suppliers/installers/prize providers after the fact or based on the maximum possible value of such prize elements. In no event will the prize provided exceed a value of $22,997.

15. In addition to the requirements set-forth in the general contest rules, the entrant or his/her legal spouse on the date of winning (if applicable) must be the record owner of a stand-alone or multi-family home (co-ops and condos are excluded) that is located within Erie or Niagara County.
